Tight Bounds for Symmetric Divergence Measures and a New Inequality Relating $f$-Divergences

, 2015
Tight bounds for several symmetric divergence measures are introduced, given in terms of the total variation distance. Each of these bounds is attained by a pair of 2 or 3-element probability distributions.

Determinants of neonatal mortality in rural India, 2007-2008. [PDF]

, 2013
Background. Despite the growing share of neonatal mortality in under-5 mortality in the recent decades in India, most studies have focused on infant and child mortality putting neonatal mortality on the back seat.

Projection‐based estimators for matrix/tensor‐valued data

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 2152-2186, December 2025.
Abstract A general approach for extending estimators to matrix‐ and tensor‐valued data is proposed. The extension is based on using random projections to project out dimensions of a tensor and then computing a multivariate estimator for each projection. The mean of the obtained set of estimates is used as the final, joint estimate. In some basic cases,

Generalized Jensen-Mercer Inequality for Functions with Nondecreasing Increments

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2016
In the year 2003, McD Mercer established an interesting variation of Jensen’s inequality and later in 2009 Mercer’s result was generalized to higher dimensions by M. Niezgoda. Recently, Asif et al.

A Theory of Natural Addiction [PDF]

, 2007
Economic theories of rational addiction aim to describe consumer behavior in the presence of habit-forming goods. We provide a biological foundation for this body of work by formally specifying conditions under which it is optimal to form a habit.

Target Return Strategy

Financial Review, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1483-1503, November 2025.
ABSTRACT We study the target return strategy (TRS), which exits the market once the return reaches a preset target. We show that the holding‐period return (HPR) cannot mean‐variance dominate TRS, but TRS can mean‐variance dominate HPR. We theoretically analyze TRS and quantitatively illustrate that training targets by a mean‐variance utility ...

New Majorized Fractional Simpson Estimates

Axioms, 2023
Fractional calculus has been a concept used to acquire new variants of some well-known integral inequalities. In this study, our primary goal is to develop majorized fractional Simpson’s type estimates by employing a differentiable function.

Sustainability transition theories: Perpetuating or breaking with the status quo

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 52-68, February 2025.
Abstract How scientists frame problems impact the solutions offered. Since the late 1940s development has been equated with modernization, technology adoption, and economic growth. Contrasting to this technocentric view, an ecocentric view has developed since the 1960s.
